check line to caliper - do
check line to caliper - do you loose brake fluid? take caliper loose and put a little lite grease on the pad slide area. if that does help the a new caliper will be needed.
Remove caliper from bracket
Remove caliper from bracket (do not loosen brake line).
remove caliper bolts.
clean and lubricate caliper bolts.
clean the surfaces where the caliper comes into contact with the caliper bracket.
put a small amount of lube at these points.
check that piston is level in it's bore and check caliper dust boot for holes or tears. reassemble the brake.
Problem is that the caliper isn't sliding on it's bracket and thus not applying the outboard pad. Cleaning and lubricating caliper bolts during each brake job is important. Check the other caliper as well.
